PURPOSE
The purpose is for an insulated

objective, a climbing headlamp
will help them keep moving
upward long after the sun has gone
down.
The purpose of tent is instrumental
in facilitating the much-needed
sleep that would prepare the hiker
for the day ahead.
The purpose of the Ice Tool is
indispensable winter tool, essential
for safe travel on snow and ice. The
axe is used for balance, cutting,
probing, extra security, support,
digging, as a hand hold and as
insurance should things go wrong.
The purpose of they help keep their
skin dry by wicking moisture, so
they stay warm and comfortable.

EQUIPMENT USE PURPOSE

 Snow Bar used in ascending
inclined ice formations.
Descender used for repelling
(descending or abseiling)
First aid kit is used when the
climbers got accidents when climb
in the mountain to help them
survive of her injure easily.
Carabiners – It use carabiners for
almost everything – belaying,
rappelling, clipping into safety
anchors and securing ropes to
protection points.
Hiking Winter Gloves used to
light pair of fleece, Powerstretch
or Schoeller/softshell gloves will
work well for this layer.
EQUIPMENT USE
The purpose is climbers on steep
ice surface such as steep waterfall
ice or alpine ice during ice
climbing or crevasse rescue, to
hold the climber in the event of a
fall, and at belays as anchor points.
The purpose of assist you in safely
climbing down a rope, and is often
used in rescue, gardening, and any
sports that require ropes.
The purpose of the first aid kit in
climbing pack, then it can mitigate
some of the damage from these
injuries. It is able to patch of buddy
up enough so that everything isn't
as bad as it could be. It be able to
survive until you get to a hospital.
One of the most versatile pieces of
equipment available to the
mountaineer is the carabiner. This
simple piece of gear is the critical
connection between the climber,
his rope, and the protection
attaching him to the mountain.
Carabiners are of two types ie
screw type carabiner  and plain
carabiner.
The purpose of the mitten is
clearly to protect against the cold.
However, this protection shouldn't
impede the use of our hands, which
are one of the most important tools
for mountaineering; gripping a
rock, holding an ice-axe or
carabiner or undoing a zip are just
a few of the ways we use our
hands.
PURPOSE
Goggles used in a critical piece of
kit. Because they provide
protection for your eyes and, in
more extreme climates, protection
for about 1/3 of your face
Seat Harness it used as a belt.
Single Pulley used for heavy
weight transfer from downhill to
uphill.
Climbung  Boot Consists of inner
insulating boot and plastic shell.
They can be used for walking,
climbing, skiing in snowy, icy or
mixed terrain with crampons on or
without them.
Climbing Holds - used to before
slopers feel comfortable and
trustworthy.
The purpose of the goggles is
always covered with white
snow. When sunrays fall on them,
it radiates and directly come to the
eyes. These rays are very harmful
for the eyes and hence the
mountaineers wear black glasses
while climbing mountains.
The purpose of the harness is
designed to protect a fall of a
climber by distributing the force of
a fall over large percentage of the
body. Harness makes rappelling,
jumaring or technical climbing
much more comfortable. Harnesses
are of two types ie Full body
harness and seat harness.
The purpose of single pulley is it
easier to lift an object than lifting
the dead weight by hand. Because
A single pulley essentially changes
the direction of the pull or force
applied. When a person uses two or
more pulleys in a system, then the
system also multiplies the force
applied besides changing its
direction.
The purpose of the boots is it offers
support while carrying heavy loads,
grips confidently over slick rock
and snow, keeps your feet warm
when the mercury dips, and allows
for the attachment of crampons and
skis.
The purpose of the Climbing Hold
is to friction generated between the
hand and the hold keeps the
climber from falling off.
